The original members of The Smithereens, the American rockers out of Carteret, N.J., have reunited for a special tour that includes a stop at Daryl’s House in Pawling, N.Y.

The band will perform Saturday, May 27, at the popular music venue owned by Daryl Hall, of Hall & Oates fame, where you’re sure to hear such hits as “A Girl Like You” and “Blood and Roses.” The group’s latest release was “Smithereens 2011.” In a review of the album on NPR’s “Fresh Air” on April 11, 2011, pop music critic Ken Tucker said, “... a lot of Smithereens lyrics are about two people who create a world for themselves against all odds, with everyone around them trying to keep them apart. Everything in Smithereens world is like a film noir shot in psychedelic colors.”

DiNizio’s original interest in music was inspired by artists from The Beatles and Black Sabbath, to Buddy Holly, according to the band’s bio. DiNizio was hooked on the Beatles after seeing them on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1964. The Who and the Kinks also played a role in shaping the band’s sound.
